Being the amazing, true-to-life adventures and (very likely) misadventures of a writer who seeks to take his education, activism and seemingly boundless energy to North Minneapolis, (NoMi) to help with a process of turning a rapidly revitalizing neighborhood into something approaching Urban Utopia.

One Level Three Sex Offender Down, A Couple Dozen To Go...

Department of Corrections Images, both of Tupac, blog post by John Hoff

Yesterday, Level Three sex offender (L3S0) Tupac Toshiq Makavelli appeared on a list of L3SOs in the 55411 zip code. Today, he has disappeared off the list...

Rumor has it--rumor which not only has it but made its way all the way to me--is Tupac is back in MNDOC custody. Tupac had something of a history of wandering around loose and unregistered, even as recently as December 2008. Well, I don't care why he's gone from North Minneapolis, I'm just glad he is, but if I find out which slumlord put him up on the 2400 Block of Logan Ave. N., I'd be very glad to spill that info. In fact, all slumlords in North Minneapolis should take notice: this blog has a right to publish information about who is happily, profitably hosting the dangerous Level Three sex offenders in our community--stacking in dangerous concentrations, though the law appears to say otherwise--and if you are involved in doing that, expect your name, home address, and other pertinent details to appear right here on this blog kind of like what happened for Cheryl A. McCluskey of 7957 McKinley Street NE, Spring Lake Park, MN, 55432.

Readers might wonder what Tupac did, exactly? Well, according to his old "Google cached" L3SO profile, he kidnapped a 17-year-old female stranger and "engaged in sexual contact including penetration," which appears to be the sanitized euphemism for BLOODY (EXPLETIVE) RAPE used by the folks who put these profiles together. For good measure, Tupac kidnapped a 15-year-old boy as part of the same incident.

One hears third hand about the Department of Corrections being all in a lather about the storm of publicity stirred up in the wake of Pete The Pedophile's gibberish-filled so-called lawsuit. One can't help but hope this increased activity and scrutinization of administrative duties somehow resulted in Makavelli going back to the pokey. However it happened, I'm just glad we're down by one, and I hope the count keeps going down in the coming weeks and months.

Boathead is my name and tracking down offenders and relaying the information to you, Mr. johnny Northside, will be my pleasure.The information will be legitimate and also backed up by minneapolis property reports.I am very familiar with all of north minneapolis and also know alot of people since i have lived here all of my life only leaving twice on military stints and an attempt at relocation.I will help where i can and will get back to you since talk is cheap.

In the meantime, I'd like to say this: if this guy was in jail since November, why wasn't the site updated? What good is this block-by-block notification if the information isn't even kept UP TO DATE? Somebody is dropping the ball, it appears, and my neighborhood is the one forced to deal with these...Level Three sex offender balls.

I'm guessing the "Cecil Glenn Allen" name may not be so much an alias, so much as the name he was given at birth? Who knows, but funny how offenders get so many names. Take Pete Rickmyer, who is actually registered as an offender under Peter Richard Stephenson. (But known to all of us as "Pete The Pedophile")

I ask you, why should a Level Three sex offender even be ALLOWED to change their name after being convicted and/or registered in another name? Of course, we don't know what happened with ol' Tupac here. I'm guessing he was, in fact, convicted under that name and it appears to be the same name he actually uses.

So I guess I'm not complaining about his name too much, except for the pretentious aspect of it.

Johnny. I know a bit about names for criminals. We all need a unique identifier. Fingerprints are the current and the name that goes on that first print card essentially becomes the true name and others become an alias. So if our pal Tupac was first arrested as Cecil G Allen, then he may always be in the system under that name. Rickmyer is probably the same. I would hope that a level 3 would be rejected for a legal name change

Tupac my ass! If he was alive and know about this L3SO S.O.B. tarnishing his name, dead meat comes to mind. Maybe his mom and the rest of the black panthers will hear about this and he will never get back out the pen alive.T Jaramillo

A comment has been rejected that called the sex offender in question "Tufat Muchasmelli" (OK, that part was funny) and claimed "Tufat" had committed a sex crime against the anonymous poster's relative.

Other things were said that will not be published.

Given the timing of the comment on the heels of my previous posting that "woke up the old thread," I doubt very much this was a sincere poster, more like one of the trolls that stalk the blog and are no longer allowed to comment.
